The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to back up Friday’s impressive performance with another win over the Dallas Mavericks.

The Cavs handled business in their last outing. Evan Mobley set the tone earlier, tying a season-high with 29 points. The Cavaliers kept their foot on the gas all game, never really allowing the Mavs to think they could win the game.

We’ll see if the Cavaliers can assert the same level of control in their second and final meeting of the season against Dallas.
